SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,137, dated June 6,1893.

Application filed September 15, 1392. Serial No. 445,993. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM R. MIRANDA, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and a resident of the city of Boston, in the county ofSuifolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new anduseful Improved Sanitary Garbage-Bucket, of which the following is afull, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention consists of a cabinet, substantially as hereinafterdescribed, to receive a bucket or pail, suitable for holding garbage,&c., and by means of which, with the cabinet closed, the garbage, 850.,may be disinfected and its obnoxious gases destroyed, or in other words,neutralized.

In the drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a planview of the cabinet closed. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section, line22, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section, line 33, Fig. 2.

In the drawings, A is a pail or bucket having a bail-handle A and all asusual, or otherwise suitable and proper for holding garbage, &c.

B is the cabinet to contain the garbage holding pail A. This cabinet isin the general form of a cylindrical chamber having a circular runningside-wall 13 a bottom or floor-wall B attached to said side wall and aremovable cover or lid B, suitable to tightly fit and close the upperopen end of the sidewall of the cabinet. The cabinet Bis of suitablesize to receive and hold the garbage pail A, leavin git free andunobstructed at its sides and top.

B is a chamber, Within the side-wall B and the floor B and continuous asto each of said walls.

O, C are sections of wicking or such like, each suspended at itsupper-portion from the side-wall of and Within the chamber B at itsupper end-portion, and severally preferably extended around said Walland entered into the floor portion of said chamber B D, D are openings,preferably screen ed with wire netting, at the inner portion of thechambered side-Wall and communicating with the chamber B These screenedopenings are in upper and lower rows about the sidewall. The chamber Bis to be properly charged with liquid disinfectant of any suitable kind,by pouring it thereinto through one of its said openings D. The wickingof the chamber B draws up the liquid disinfectant and presents it forits gases to escape at the openings D, D, into the chamber of thecabinet, wherein is placed the garbage pail, for action on the garbage,to disinfect it and destroy its obnoxious gases, or in other words, toneutralize them.

The cover 13 of the cabinet has a chamber 13, the floor B of which has anumber of perforations a, suitably arranged to register withcorrespondingly arranged perforations b of a disk E located to beoscillated back and forth on a fixed center pin d of and over the coverfloor B and so to have its perforations registered or placed out ofregister with the perforations a of said floor.

F is a handle to the perforated disk and projected through a slot F ofthe cover, in position to be handled to suitably manipulate said disk,and said slot is of suitable length to, insure the aforesaid registeringand unregistering of said perforations.

The chamber of the cover'is charged with a pulverized disinfectant, ofany suitable kind, and this disinfectant, by oscillating the perforateddisk, is sifted onto the garbage in the pail, to the end of disinfectingit, acting in co-operation With the vapors from the liquid disinfectantas before explained. The outer edge of the cover is turned up, so aswith the side-wall of the cabinet, the cover being in place, to form achannel or receptacle G for water to seal the joint between the coverand cabinet.
